FCC Commissioner Slams Kamala Harris’s $42 Billion Broadband Initiative: ‘Not One Person, Home, or Business Connected in 3 Years!’

[1srelluc]

Almost all of the inflation reduction money has pretty much disappeared into black holes with little or nothing to show for all those mega billions but dust and crippling inflation that is still plaguing far too many American families.

Pretty much all that money was made transferrable.

Pretty much all that money was made transferrable.

Apparently so and therefore those waiting patiently for all those electric charging stations or better broadband access and all the other promises made when that legislation was rammed through are going to have a very long wait.

The purpose is not to connect individuals to the internet but to build internet infrastructure


The Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced $930,021,354.34 to expand middle mile high-speed Internet infrastructure across 35 states and Puerto Rico as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. Under the Biden-Harris Administration’s Internet for All Initiative, the Enabling Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure Program invests in projects that build regional networks that connect to national Internet networks.

Middle mile Internet infrastructure carries large amounts of data over long distances, increases capacity to local networks, boosts network resiliency, lowers the cost of bringing high-speed Internet service to unconnected households, and helps connect unserved regions to the Internet backbone.

FCC Commissioner:“It’s been 1,039 days since Vice President Harris agreed to spearhead this massive program, yet not a single person has been connected to the internet. Not one home. Not one business. Not even a shovel has hit the ground,”
